Christina: Robin Wall Kimmer's Braiding Sweetgrass is a book for everyone in academia or not. I also have a garden, it's actually gardening is one of the top three things that people say make them happiest.

Christina: We all kind of try to find different things in our environment that we can use as tools to make this better.
